有些数学问题是常人完全不能理解的,譬如黎曼猜想(Riemann hypothesis)需要用到不少高等数学知识才能解释;可是也有些问题是十岁小孩也能明白的。著名的孪生质数猜想(Twin Prime Conjecture)绝对能被归类为后者…

有些數學問題是常人完全不能理解的,譬如黎曼猜想(Riemann hypothesis)需要用到不少高等數學知識才能解釋;可是也有些問題是十歲小孩也能明白的。著名的孿生質數猜想(Twin Prime Conjecture)絕對能被歸類為後者…

There are math problems that are thoroughly incomprehensible to the layman – the Riemann hypothesis needs a fair amount of sophisticated math to explain, for example. And then there are those that even a ten-year-old could understand. The famous Twin Prime Conjecture is definitely in the latter category…

On 19 November 2021, a partial lunar eclipse occurred over the sky of Hong Kong in the evening. In fact, this partial lunar eclipse started at about 2pm HKT when the “Moon enters penumbra”….
